 ##Quick Guide to Developers
 
+### Get started with coding and contributing
+
+** Before everything, setup your environment:**
+
+i. Make sure MySQL is installed on your development box:
+
+    e.g., ```brew install mysql``` (for your Mac OSX box)
+
+ii. Dedicatedly create a virtual environment for your development. You can use  [virtualenvwrapper](http://virtualenvwrapper.readthedocs.org/) to help you manage your virtual environment.
+
+  ```$mkvirtualenv compass-core``` (skip this if you already created compass-core-env)
+
+  ```$workon compass-core``` (get into compass-core-env)
+
+_Note: the above assumes you use virtualenvwrapper to manage your virtualenv_
+
+** 1. Checkout source **
+
+    (compass-core-env)$git checkout https://github.com/stackforge/compass-core.git
+
+** 2. Run the tests making sure you are working on a clean and working code base**  (i.e., did someone else break the code)
+
+``` (compass-core-env)$tox -r ```
+
+** 3. Write your  change, and make sure test your code thoroughly** (otherwise, reviewers won't approve it)
+
+``` (compass-core-env)$git branch -b [TOPIC]```
+
+working, working, working on the [TOPIC] branch ...
+
+``` (compass-core-env)$tox -r ``` (make sure your new code still works)
+
+** 4. Submit for review **
+
+```(compass-core-env)$git review ```
+
+
